    Auto trans dead after 26,000k!

    Yep covered under warranty luckily. We got no warning signs. I drove it for 10 hours only a week ago and it was fine. Then the girl was heading back to work after her lunch break and it just started playing up. My first thought was an ecu issue as everything still worked, just not the way it's...

    Well. The girls Cruze has just been diagnosed with a failed auto transmission after only 26,000 kays! To me it's just unacceptable. Discuss.

    [VIC] Determine persons identity from rego number?

    Going to the cops is also a waste of time. The only witnesses are your wife and kids. Therefore it becomes a civil matter. Suck it up and pay for your door dude.

    How long will the engines last if...

    To be honest I'd rather own an evo8 then my ssv ute with the brembos and fe3. To those hanging **** on them, let me ask you this. Have you ever actually sat in one and driven it? They **** all over any commodore in their price range...

    JG Cruze help needed!!!

    Hey all. The missus has a JG Cruze with an issue. We have a yellow engine light illuminated constantly and the car starts and drives but that's where the issue lies. Pretty much when you take off you get to about 20k before if feels and sounds like it's choking, but it continues to rev out. Then...

    Cheap WM Statesman with high Ks - worth it?

    Is it at a dealership? By law (In Vic at least), a second hand car being sold before a certain amount of kms and age, the previous owners details must be viewable. That's why I walked away from a 24month old vz ute years back. It was owned by Coles myer grp which k-mart and k-mart tyre and auto...

    VE SS question?

    I'm 21 with an ssv ute. I was getting quotes around 6k per year. Chucked it in the girls name with me as a nominated driver n got it to 2.6k per year. It's expensive, but if I can afford the car I make sure I can afford the insurance. Bear in mind that neither of us have clean sheets re license...

    holden sold me a 1k touch up can for vt. is that right?

    It's 2k mate. Those particular places will mix 2k and put it into a pressure pack. How does 2k cure? Oxygen and heat.

    holden sold me a 1k touch up can for vt. is that right?

    Go see eastern auto paints in bayswater or Milsons auto paints in ferntree gulley. They'll match to your car and chuck it in a pressure pack for you

    VE Calais V - 6L V8 Auto - Acceleration issues

    Not sure what it is but mine does it too. I figured it was just the auto slush box so I use the active select thing most of the time.

    A question regarding Warranty

    This is the first time i've owned a car with new car warranty. Yay me! So, my question is, If i were to replace factory suspension, for example, does that cause me to void the entire warranty on the vehicle, or does that simply mean any faults caused by, or with the aftermarket suspension...

    Vandalism, where do I stand?

    What i find even more ####ed up is the people claiming that his behaviour was justified, because he was insulted. If any copper or paramedic decided to throw **** or cause a scene everytime they felt 'threatened' or 'insulted', we'd have some ####ed up **** going on, correct? AND to make...

    Dealership spare parts, do these guys know what they're talking about?

    I used to ring the dealerships ordering parts for a panel shop, and the first thing they'd ask for was the vin. I remember having to order a tail light for the ex's 323 astina and i forgot to take the vin with me. Ever had to ask your missus to find the vin number on her car? faark me....

    Banks & Insurance Companies

    Spot on! I'll be honest, i didn't plan the baby thats on the way, but by cutting back on un-necessary expenses, we will be living comfortably. When i first left home, i used to feed myself on $30 a week. It can be done quite easily.

    First year apprentice

    Flame me or not, i don't really care. But when someone gives you the broom and you mope around or bitch about it, expect to be pushing that ####er a whole heap more. I have had apprentices under me that would be pushing me out of the way so they could have a go, which i love. They are the ones i...

    Any HAZARD ve owners on here?

    It's not available for side skirts and rear, is it? It just looks funny on a yellow car, to only have it on the front. it looks almost out of place. Still want it though!

    Those that think a VE is 'unstealable', you have rocks in your head.

    Any HAZARD ve owners on here?

    Yeah she has her '09 Cruze to get around in. And according to Vicroads I can have a capsule/seat in the front as I have no rear seats. So when she throws it at me and screams "GET IT OUT!", my (hopefully) little boy and I can go for a spurt! Lol

    6 Litre rattler/piston slapper !

    Sorry if you've already posted this info, but theres that much that it's probably easier to just ask. When did yours begin? I'm almost due for the 15,000k service. About 1500k to go.

    Wheels - Dish vs Spoke - Pros and con.

    Agreed. Trinity looks way better. But PLEASE fill those guards! Nothing looks worse then **** fitment. Unless thats just me and my love affair with wide wheels that stick out past the guards. Even better when the tyre has been stretched and you get that sexy bead of rim poking out...

    6 Litre rattler/piston slapper !

    Well. It seems it's either hit or miss, or i'm just being paranoid but no noise this morning :S I do however, have a rougher then usual idle, but i filled up last night so i'm guessing shitful fuel. Not that any of this relates to the topic at hand...

    VE Handbrake Adjustment.

    Cheers mate, i'll give it a crack. At the moment, I'll lift it until it stops, then need to yank it another two clicks before it actually does anything. And being an Auto, the clunk it makes when taking it out of park makes me shudder. The 45 degree driveway i must park in doesn't help either!
